Man In Transition


I can feel a change coming.

I think I am going to mix things up a little bit. I am absolutely certain that this is the short period of time that one experiences before they realize that big changes are on the horizon.

I am ready to...

Let go of some people.
Pick up some others.

Forgive some wrongs.
Build some bridges.

Set some goals.
Raise some standards.

Close some doors.
Get some work done.

Leave some places behind.
Set up camp in some new places.

Change, Dear Friends, Change.

I am changing.
My conditions.
My perspectives.
My habits.

It's a fucking fire-sale going on in here.
Everything is open for re-evaluation.
Nothing is sacred.

I have recently found myself articulating conditional wants that I am willing to work for. Basic needs that I didn't know that I wanted or didn't want, until know.

Occupational wants.
Domestic wants.
Physical wants.
Financial wants.
Relationship wants.
Artistic wants.
Relationship wants.

I want things to be different than they are now.
I am willing to do what it takes to get what I want.

This might look a little bit like instability to those of you on the outside.
I can assure you that it's not. It's a transition from here to there. It only looks unstable if you're not prepared to accept change in perception.

I am focused, energized and ready to do the hard work that this is going to take. With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of hard work, the end results will be personally, vocationally and artistically rewarding.

I am ready.

I'm on month eight, yo. It doesn't get easier. But it gets better.

Good for you, Mr. B. Let me know if I can aid or guide or do some smack down on anyone. :) Miss you!
